DJ Atlance returns to GLBDOM with a three-track EP that delves into the emotional core of house music. This release is a personal statement within the genre, masterfully blending lo-fi textures with warm, dancefloor-ready grooves. Rooted in classic deep house foundations, the EP carries an intimate, warm, and subtly raw sensibility while remaining firmly connected to club culture. Its central strength lies in balance: between club efficiency and genuine emotional depth, between melancholy and unwavering motion. Across the tracks 'Stay, If You Wanna Stay', 'People From The Book', and 'Saudade', the EP unfolds as a nostalgic journey. Dusty Rhodes chords, groovy drums, deep basslines, and subtle synth work cultivate a hazy, late-night atmosphere. The title of the closing track, 'Saudade'-a Portuguese word for a profound longing for something absent-becomes the key to the entire release's heart. This is music that resonates with equal power on a crowded dancefloor or through headphones in solitude. It captures warmth, melancholy, and a timeless house sensibility, reaffirming DJ Atlance's unique ability to connect movement and emotion with effortless, organic depth.
Yann Polewka is the man in charge of the GLBDOM label's fifth outing and a fine one it is too. He brings plenty of timeless house vibes to the opener 'Keep On' with its Kerri Chandler style bumping kicks and feel-good piano chords next to subtle vocal chops packed with soul. 'Oblivion' is another upbeat, uplifting house cut with a classic underbelly and rich chords to get those hands in the air. 'The Light' once again layers up well-crafted chords, irresistible drum funk and nice analogue percussion. Last of all, Jesse Bru's Sea Of Change remix of the same tune brings a more deep and late night feel to close out a top EP.

French producer Saint Paul was raised in Lyon with Ivorian and French heritage and is now based in Reunion Island. He was a founding member of Moonrise Hill Material and continues to refine his style, which is infused with jazz, funk, hip hop and African rhythms. Though built for the dancefloor, it comes rich in introspection that marries energy and soul. This six-track EP on GLBDOM takes in the horn-laced New York house vibes of 'I'm Ur DJ', swinging MAW-esque kicks of 'We Can All Groove With It' and jazz-laced depths of 'Extreme Vibration'. It's an EP full of class and character with the late-night lounge sophistication of 'Elixir De Bons Souvenirs', another highlight.
